satisfaction  of  the  vendors,  on  or  before  delivery :  in  default  of  which 
Messrs.  GEO.  A.  LEAVITT  &  Co.  will  not  hold  themselves  responsible, 
if  the  Lots  be  lost,  stolen,  damaged,  or  destroyed,  but  they  will  be  left 
at  the  sole  risk  of  the  purchaser. 

4.  In  preparing  the  Catalogue,  care  has  been  taken  to  make  the 
description  of  every  book  full  and  accurate,  and  every  deficiency  and 
imperfection  which  was  discovered  has  been  noted :  but  the  sale  of  any 
Volume  or  Lot  is  not  to  be  set  aside  on  account  of  any  error  in  the 
description.     The  books  will  be  exposed  for  public  exhibition  one  or 
more  days,  and  will  be  sold  just  as  they  are  without  recourse. 

5.  To  prevent  inaccuracy  in  delivery  and  inconvenience  in  the  settle 
ment  of  the  purchases,  no  lot  can,  on  any  account,  be  removed  during 
the  sale. 

6.  Upon  failure  of  complying  with  the  above  conditions,  the  money 
deposited  in  part  payment  shall  be  forfeited ;  all  Lots  uncleared  within 
the  time  aforesaid  shall  be  re-sold  by  public  or  private  sale,  without 
further  notice,  and  the  deficiency  (if  any)  attending  such  re-sale,  shall 
be  made  good  by  the  defaulter  at  this  sale,  together  with  all  charges 
attending  the  same.     This  condition  is  without  prejudice  to  the  right 
of  the  Auctioneers  to  enforce  the  contract  made  at  this  sale,  without 
such  re-sale,  if  they  think  fit. 

GEO.  A.  LEAVITT  &  CO. 


PREFACE. 


In  compliance  with  positive  directions  given  by  the  late  Mr.  George 
Brinley,  his  whole  collection  of  books  relating  to  America  will  be 
offered  for  sale  by  auction.  The  Catalogue  of  the  First  Part  of  this 
collection  is  now  submitted  to  the  public.  Few  of  those  into  whose 
hands  it  is  likely  to  fall  need  be  informed  that  —  within  the  field  it 
covers  —  it  comprises  a  greater  number  of  volumes  remarkable  for 
their  rarity,  value,  and  interest  to  special  collectors  and  to  book-lovers 
in  general,  -than  were  ever  before  brought  together  in  an  American 
sale-room.  The  titles  of  the  books  and  tracts,  though  rarely  given 
without  abbreviation,  will  be  found  sufficiently  full  to  distinguish  the 
edition  or  impression,  and  accuracy  of  description  as  regards  binding 
and  general  condition  has  been  aimed  at,  throughout.  All  imperfec 
tions  discovered  by  the  compiler  of  the  catalogue  have  been  pointed 
out;  though  a  rigorous  collation  of  every  volume  was,  under  the 
circumstances,  impossible. 

Some  critical  readers  may  object  to  the  frequent  recurrence  of  the 
terms  "scarce,"  "rare,"  "superlatively  rare,"  and  so  on;  and  if  such 
terms  have  been  misapplied  the  objection  is  certainly  a  valid  one. 
But  it  is  believed  that  a  thorough  examination  of  the  catalogue  will 
show  that  reference  to  the  rarity  of  a  book  or  tract  has  been  omitted 
when  it  might  fairly  have  been  made,  ten  times  as  often  as  it  has  been 
made  without  warrant  of  critical  bibliography.  Turn,  for  example, 
to  the  collection  of  "Books  printed  in  New  England,  1640—1709" 
(pages  87-126),  and  to  that  of  the  "Works  of  the  Mathers"  (pp.  127- 
176),  and  of  the  six  hundred  and  fifty  consecutive  titles  there  are 
scarcely  twenty  that  any  American  bibliographer  could  hesitate  to 
mark  "  rare,"  or  "  very  rare." 


VI  PREFACE. 

The  general  plan  of  the  Catalogue  is  indicated,  as  regards  the 
First  Part,  by  the  table  of  Contents,  prefixed.  The  arrangement — it 
can  hardly  be  called  a  classification  —  is  substantially  that  which  was 
adopted  by  Mr.  Brinley  himself,  for  his  book-shelves.  A  strictly 
alphabetical  arrangement,  by  authors'  names  or  titles,  would  perhaps 
have  been  more  acceptable  to  bibliographers,  but  the  extent  of  the 
library  rendered  such  an  arrangement  impracticable,  and  it  seemed 
inappropriate  to  the  sale-catalogue  of  a  library  which  is  not  less 
remarkable  for  the  completeness  of  its  collections  in  special  depart 
ments,  than  by  the  number  of  its  titles. 

The  Second  Part  will  comprise  books  relating  to  New  York,  New 
Jersey,  Pennsylvania,  and  Delaware,  with  special  collections  of  works 
printed  by  William  Bradford,  Reynier  Jansen,  A.  Bradford,  S.  Keimer, 
Christopher  Sauer,  Benjamin  Franklin,  and  other  early  printers,  and 
a  collection  of  works  relating  to  the  Quakers;  Maryland,  Virginia, 
and  the  Southern  colonies  and  states ;  the  American  Revolution ; 
Washingtoniana ;  the  United  States,  since  the  establishment  of  Inde 
pendence  ;  the  West,  California,  and  the  Pacific  coast ;  Mexico, 
Central  America,  the  West  Indies,  and  South  America ;  the  American 
Indians,  and  their  Languages ;  American  Biography ;  American  Poetry ; 
and  Books  printed  in  America  from  1709  to  1776. 

The  Third  Part  will  include  American  Bibles ;  Psalmody,  and 
Music;  books  relating  to  Episcopacy  in  the  U.  States,  Methodism, 
the  Baptists,  and  other  denominations ;  Arts  and  Sciences ;  Educa 
tion,  including  early  School  Books ;  Chap  Books  (a  large  and  curious 
collection) ;  Bibliography,  Catalogues,  etc. ;  Miscellaneous  Works ; 
Almanacs ;  Broadsides ;  Maps,  Prints,  and  Autographs.

the  Indians  "  had  amongst  them  no  good  nor  wholsome  food,  for  even  that  maiz,  whereof

ery  of  the  dip  of  the  magnetic  needle;  and  Burroughs' s  important  observations  of  the 
declination  of  the  needle,  followed  up  by  Gunter,  led  to  the  discovery  (by  Gillebrand?)  of 
the  cycle  or  change  of  the  variation  in  declination.

A  volume  of  remarkable  interest  to  American  collectors.  It  contains  RICHARD 
EDEN'S  copy  of  Peter  Martyr,  and  the  one,  manifestly,  which  he  used  in  translating 
"  The  Decades  of  the  Newe  Worlde,"  printed  in  1555.  It  has  his  autograph  on  the  title- 
page,  and  its  margins  and  two  blank  pages  are  full  of  his  MANUSCRIPT  NOTES,  explana 
tions,  and  references,  among  which  he  has,  here  and  there,  roughly  sketched  little  outline 
mafs  of  islands,  etc.,  mentioned  in  the  text,  e.  g.  "  Insula  Canibaliz^TZ  vel  Caribu;«."  On 
a  guard-leaf,  he  has  drawn  "  Hispaniola,"  on  a  somewhat  larger  scale  than  the  margin 
permitted,  writing  the  designations  of  prominent  features  of  the  coast. 

This  edition  of  Peter  Martyr  was  reprinted  from  that  of  Alcala  of  1516,  with  the  addi 
tion  (11.  68-75)  of  an  abstract  of  the  fotirth  decade,  "de  Insulis  nuper  inventis."  See 
Tromel,  No.  5  ;  Harrisse,  pp.  301  ;  Satin's  Dictionary,  No.  1557.  Bound  with  it,  is  an 
edition  (same  date  and  press)  of  Biondo's  Epitome  of  the  historical  Decades  of  JEneas 
Sylvius  (Pope  Pius  II.). 

The  volume  has  the  book-plates  of  Thomas  Robinson,  Fellow  of  Merton  College,  and 
"  Joannis  Milner,  A.  M.  e  Coll.  Sti.  Petri,  Cantab.,"  and  the  autographs  of  several  other 
possessors,  the  latest  being  that  of  "  Jno.  Davis"  (of  Plymouth).  At  the  sale  of  Judge 
Davis's  library,  1847,  it  was  purchased  by  Mr.  Geo.  F.  Guild,  from  whose  library  it  came 
to  Mr.  Brinley,  in  1853.

4°  Paris,  chez  Claude  Collet,  1632 

An  EXCEPTIONALLY  FINE  copy  of  the  Best  Edition  of  Champlain.  It  was  obtained,  a 
few  years  ago,  from  a  private  library  in  France,  in  which,  apparently,  it  had  rested  undis 
turbed  since  it  received  its  i;th  century  binding.  The  description  and  collation  agree  with 
Sabin's  (Dictionary,  No.  11839)  and  Field's  (Ind.  Bibliog.,  No.  268),  except  in  two 
particulars.  The  map  has  the  inscription  :  "  Faicte  Pan  1632  par  le  sieur  de  Champlain," 
and,  its  two  sheets  having  been  joined  in  one,  it  is  inserted  in  its  proper  place,  after  p.  210 
of  the  Second  Part,  and  immediately  before  the  "  Table  povr  cognoistre  les  lievx 
remarqvables  enceste  Carte."  (It  is  usually  found — when  found  at  all — at  the  end  of  the 
volume,  separated  from  its  Table  of  Reference,  by  the  "  Traitte  de  la  Marine"  and 
specimens  of  the  Indian  Languages.)  The  "  blank  leaf "  after  page  210  (the  4th  leaf 
of  Qq.)  has  been  removed,  or  cut  down  to  form  a  guard.  The  united  sheets  of  the  map 
measure  33!  by  2o|  inches,  between  the  outer  lines  of  the  border.  The  impression  is 
excellent;  and  so  are  the  impressions  of  the^fw  copper-plates,  pp.  245,  259,  265,  291, 
and  304.

this  Land  out  of  that  Dominion  of  yours."  One  of  the  complimentary  poems  addressed

earlier.  Another  is  by  George  Wither,  the  emblematist  and  satirist,  and  another  (an 
Acrostic)  by  John  Vicars.  The  names  of  George  Sandys  and  William  Vaughan  are 
found  in  every  notice  of  early  American  poetry.  That  of  Hayman.  their  contemporary, 
seems  almost  unknown  even  to  bibliographers.  It  is  unnecessary  to  add  that  his  book

Only  a  tolerably  good  copy  of  this  EXTREMELY  RARE  tract.  A  (blank)  corner  is  torn 
from  the  Title-leaf  and  the  bottom  line  slightly  cut  into  by  the  binder ;  and  the  2d  and  3d 
prelim,  leaves  have  lost  their  inner  corners,  at  the  bottom,  the  missing  words  having  been 
supplied  in  manuscript;  a  few  words  and  letters  are  gone  from  the  outer  margin  of 
pp.  15-16. 

For  some  account  of  this  remarkable  publication,  "  arraigning  [Gov.]  Dudley,  with 
unbounded  severity,"  see  Palfrey's  Hist,  of  N.  England,  iv.  304-310.  The  Dedication 
is  signed,  A.  H. —  probably,  for  Alexander  Holmes,  one  of  the  subscribers  to  the  Memo 
rial  against  Dudley,  to  the  Queen.  The  absurdity  of  attributing  the  authorship  of  this 
tract  to  the  Rev.  John  Higginson  of  Salem  —  aged  92 —  will  be  apparent  to  any  one  who 
reads  a  single  page  of  it.  Dr.  Palfrey,  with  more  probability,  suggests  (p.  310)  that 
"  Cotton  Mather  was  concerned  in  the  composition  :  "  but  "  the  smartness  and  pedantry  of 
the  style  "  are  as  characteristic  of  Rev.  John  Wise  of  Chebacco  (who  had  an  old  grudge 
against  Dudley)  as  of  Mather.

"  Ned  Ward  "  was  a  graceless  scamp.  His  "  Trip  to  New-England"  fairly  matches  — 
if  it  does  not  surpass  —  the  Rev.  Sam.  Peters's  "History  of  Connecticut."  The  latter 
seems  to  have  taken  a  hint  for  one  of  his  "  blue-laws  "  from  Ward's  story  (p.  173)  of  "  a 
Captain  of  a  ship,  who  had  been  a  long  voyage,  happened  to  meet  his  wife,  and  kissed 
her  in  the  street  [of  Boston],  for  which  he  was  fined  10  shillings,"  —  the  offences  of  "open 
kissing  and  of  fornication  being  both  of  a  price ;  and  another  inhabitant  of  the  town  was 
fin'd  ten  shillings  for  kissing  his  own  wife  in  his  garden,"  and  was  whipped  for  refusing  to 
pay  the  fine.  Drake  (Hist,  of  Boston,  515,  516)  makes  some  extracts  from  this  naughty 
(and  very  scarce)  book.

Sufferings  and   Remarkable   Deliverance  of  Thomas   Brown,  of 
Charlestown,   in   New-England;   Who   returned   to   his   Father's 
House  the  Beginning  of  Jan.  1760,  after  having  been  absent  three

Engagement  between  a  Party  of  English  commanded  by  Major 
Rogers,  and  a  Party  of  French  and  Indians,  in  Jan.  1757,  in  which 
Capt.  Spikeman  was  kilPd ;  and  the  Author  .  .  .  left  for  dead  on

Perhaps  the  RAREST  of  all  Narratives  of  Indian  Captivities.  The  title  has  escaped

except  in  Haven's  (Am.  Antiq.  Soc.)  in  which  it  was  entered  from  Mr.  Brinley's  copy.  It

The  Narrative  of  Capt.  John  Fillmore  (the  great  grandfather  of  President  Fillmore)  is

Gen.  Reg.  xi.  62)  to  the  Aurora  (N.  Y.)  reprint  of  1837. 

The  "  cuts "  on  page  8  of  this  edition  of  Mrs.  Smith's  Captivity  deserve  notice.  The 
rendering  of  the  group  of  Indians,  about  to  assail  the  peaceful  home  of  the  Smiths,  is 
inimitable.

Sion,"  that  is,  Water-Stratford  and  its  Borders.

This  volume,  which  is  now  RARE,  is  dedicated  to  the  Governors  and  Ministers  of  New- 
England  by  J.  St.  N.,  "An  Adventurer  in  the  first  Plantation."  The  author  was  rector 
of  Lutterworth,  in  Leicestershire;  a  friend  of  the  Rev.  Ephraim  Huit,  who  came  to  N.  E. 
in  1639,  and  became  Mr.  Warham's  colleague  at  Windsor  (Conn.),  to  which  place  Mr. 
St.  N.  intended  to  follow  him.  He  decided,  however,  to  remain  in  England,  where,  in 
1657,  he  married  a  daughter  of  Anthony  Grey,  the  puritan  rector  of  Burbach,  afterwards 
Earl  of  Kent.  See  Palmer's  Calamy,  ii.  119;  Crosby's  Hist,  of  Engl.  Baptists,  iii.  34;

82  SHEPARD  --  STODDARD. 

letter  occupies  pp.  i-ioi.  It  is  followed  by  a  Discourse  on  John  6.  27,  by  R.  H.  (pp. 
133),  with  a  dedicatory  epistle  to  his  "two  daughters  Margaret  and  Elizabeth." 

The  names  of  the  daughters  and  their  ages  ("the  elder  drawing  neer  to  sixteen  years," 
and  the  younger  "now  thirteen  years,")  sufficiently  identify  R.  H.,  the  "dear  friend"  to 
whom  Shepard's  letter  was  addressed,  with  RICHARD  HARLAKENDEN,  Esq.,  of  Earls- 
Colne  in  Essex,  the  elder  brother  of  Roger  Harlakenden  who  came  with  Mr.  Shepard  to 
New  England  and  became  a  member  of  his  church  in  Cambridge.  Their  sister  Mabel 
married  John  Haynes,  governor  of  Massachusetts  and  first  governor  of  Connecticut. 
During  Mr.  Shepard's  ministry  at  Earls.  Colne  the  Harlakenden  family  had  been  his 
warm  friends,  and  had  done  all  in  their  power  to  protect  him  from  the  persecution  which 
finally  drove  him  from  England.  Richard  Harlakenden's  first  wife  was  Alice,  daughter 
of  Sir  Henry  Mildmay,  by  whom  he  had  the  son  Richard  to  whom  this  volume  is  dedi 
cated.  By  his  second  wife,  Mary  Denny,  he  had  three  daughters,  Margaret,  Mary,  and 
Elizabeth.  Mary  died  young.  The  others  were  about  sixteen  and  thirteen  years  of  age, 
respectively,  in  1651  — which  fixes,  nearly,  the  date  of  publication. 

The  volume  must  be  VERY  RARE.  It  seems  to  have  escaped  the  notice  of  English 
and  American  bibliographers,  of  the  editors  of  Shepard's  works,  and  of  all  his  biographers. 
It  is  not  named  in  the  catalogues  of  the  Prince,  Am.  Antiquarian  Society's,  Harvard  Col 
lege,  or  Mass.  Hist.  Society's  libraries,  nor  in  any  other  which  the  writer  of  this  note  has 
consulted.

Apologetical  Answer  unto  some   Letters  and   Papers  lately  sent

Islands,//.  (12),  168,  (8).  4°  London,  for  G.  Calvert,  n.  d. 

This  book  must  have  been  printed  in  1646  —  the  year  in  which  Prynne's  "Fresh  Dis 
covery  "  was  published  —  or  very  early  in  1647.  The  author  was  father  of  the  Rev.

BOOKS    PRINTED   IN    NEW   ENGLAND 

(A  T  CAMBRIDGE  AND  HOSTON) 

1640-1709. 

In  this  section  will  be  found  the  INCUNABULA  of  the  Anglo-American  press.  It  comprises 
Mr.  Brinley's  unrivalled  collection  of  books  printed  in  Massachusetts,  from  the  establishment 
of  the  first  press  in  1639,  to  the  establishment  of  the  first  press  in  Connecticut  (the  third,  in 
New  England)  in  1709  —  from  THE  WHOLE  BOOKE  OF  PSALMS,  Imprinted  1640,  by  Stephen 
Day,  to  the  Saybrook  Platform,  the  first  book  printed  in  Connecticut,  —  not  including  "the  works 
of  the  MATHERS  (which  are  separately  catalogued)  and  the  works  relating  to  WITCHCRAFT. 

There  is  not  a  book  named  in  this  section  (Nos.  693-929)  which  may  not  properly  be  desig 
nated  RARE.  At  least  three-fourths  of  the  whole  number  are  VERY  RARE  ;  not  a  few  are  of 
EXCESSIVE  RARITY,  and  several  are  the  ONLY  KNOWN  COPIES,  if  not  UNIQUE.

EXTREMELY  RARE.  Not  in  the  Prince,  Mass.  Historical  Society,  or  Boston  Athe

earlier  than  1690"  (Hist,  of  Printing,  i.  285),  and  does  not  mention  Job  How,  in  his  list 
of  Boston  booksellers.  (See  Mr.  Brinley's  note,  on  guard-leaf.) 

The  Sermon  "  was  preached  on  a  solemn  Fast-Day  occasioned  by  the  afflictive  Provi 
dence  of  God  in  sending  Worms  and  Caterpillars,  which  in  some  places,  as  God's  great 
Army,  marched  in  numerous  Companies,  and  devoured  all  before  them," — hence  called

ALMANACS,  PRINTED  AT  CAMBRIDGE,  1646-1650. 

These  five  Almanacs  (Nos.  699-703)  —  every  one  of -which  is  believed  to  be  UNIQUE  — 
belonged  to  the  Rev.  Samuel  Hough  (Haugh),  Minister  of  Reading,  Mass.,  whose  name 
appears  on  the  title-page  of  the  Almanac  for  1649.  They  were  interleaved  by  him,  and 
contain 'many  manuscript  entries,  some  of  which  are  of  much  historical  value,  and  nearly 
all  are  of  interest  to  New  England  antiquaries.  They  passed  into  the  possession  of  Judge 
Sewall  (the  guardian  of  Mr.  Hough's  grand-children),  and  remained  in  the  Sewall  family 
until  they  were  purchased,  not  many  years  ago,  by  the  late  Mr.  John  K.  Wiggin  of  Boston, 
who  sold  them  to  Mr.  Brinley.  An  endorsement  on  the  cover  of  one  of  them  shows  that 
they  were  loaned  to  Mr.  John  Farmer  in  1824,  and  again  in  1833.  Mr.  Farmer  commu 
nicated  to  Mr.  Savage  some  of  Mr.  Haugh's  notes  —  particularly,  the  one  which  records, 
against  June  15,  1648,  \\\e  jflrst  execution  in  New  England  for  Witchcraft  (see  Savage's 
Winthrop,  ii.  326,  note}. 

Thomas  (Hist,  of  Printing,  i.  234),  names  Danforth's  Almanacks  for  i647,-8,-9,  and 
Oakes's  "Astronomical  Calculations,"  "1648,  about,"  among  books  printed  by  Stephen 
Day.  It  is  plain,  however,  that  he  had  not  seen  all — if  any  —  of  them.  The  Almanac 
for  1646  (which  has  lost  its  title-page),  was  doubtless  by  STEPHEN  DAY  —  the  first  printer 
at  the  first  Anglo-American  press.  That  of  1647  has  the  UNIQUE  imprint  of  MATTHEW 
DAY,  the  son  of  Stephen, — a  printer  not  mentioned  by  Thomas;  and  the  Almanac  for 
1648  must  also  have  been  his  work,  though  his  name  does  not  appear  in  the  imprint. 
(These  two  almanacs  have  the  title  within  a  border  made  up  of  figures  representing  the 
phases  of  the  moon.)  Matthew  Day  died  in  May,  1649.  No  printer's  name  appears  on 
the  Almanacs  for  1649  and  1650.  On  the  latter,  the  name  of  Samuel  Danforth,  as  author, 
is  omitted,  and  in  its  place  stands  the  Latin  line,  ' '  Parvum  farva  decent."  This  identifies 
the  Almanac  with  the  "little  parcel  of  astronomical  calculations,  with  this  apposite  verse 
in  the  title-page,"  which,  as  Cotton  Mather  states,  was  published  by  URIAN  OAKES, 
while  a  student  at  Harvard.  (Thomas,  misled  by  Mather's  title,  enters  "Astronomical 
Calculations.  By  a  Youth  [Urian  Oakes],"  as  of  "1648,  about,"  and  says  it  is  not  ascer 
tained  when  or  by  whom  it  was  printed.)  There  is  no  doubt  that  the  Almanacs  for  1649 
and  1650  —  which  are  precisely  alike,  typographically,  —  were  printed  by  SAMUEL  GREEN; 
and  the  former  is  the  FIRST  work  known  to  be  his,  —  the  Cambridge  Platform,  printed  late 
in  1649,  being  the  first  work  having  his  name  (or  initials)  in  the  imprint. 

Thus,  the  five  tracts  comprise  specimens  of  the  work  of  the  FIRST  THREE  PRINTERS 
in  English  America;  the  ONLY  known  work  of  one,  and  the  FIRST  work  of  another  of 
the  three.

nearly  complete  than  any  other  known.  Its  interest,  as  well  as  its  intrinsic  value,  is  much 
enhanced  by  SewalPs  manuscript  memoranda.

so  fair  as  a  fastidious  collector  might  desire,  yet  it  is  certainly  ONE  of  the  (two)  best 
copies  that  has  been — or  is  likely  to  be — offered  for  sale  in  this  generation.

"Although  a  few  copies  printed,  yet  it  is  NOT  PUBLISHED."  —  Preface. 

"  This  copy  is  the  one  referred  to  by  Dr.  Francis,  in  his  Life  of  J.  Eliot,  in  Sparks' 
American  Biography." — G.  B.  It  formerly  belonged  to  the  Rev.  Dr.  Thaddeus  Mason 
Harris  of  Dorchester,  Mass.,  who  has  left  this  note,  on  a  guard  leaf  :  "As  this  little  book 
was  not  published,  and  'but  very  few  copies  printed,'  it  has  become  so  scarce  that  this  may 
be  considered  the  only  copy.  The  like  may  be  said  of  the  tract  which  contains  '  The  Dying 
Speeches  of  some  Indians.' "  (See  No.  765.) 

The  only  other  known  copy  of  this  book  was  in  the  library  of  Mr.  Menzies,  and  was 
then  believed  by  Mr.  Sabin  to  be  UNIQUE.  See  the  Menzies  Catalogue,  no.  666.  It 
is,  doubtless,  "  THE  FIRST  PRIVATELY  PRINTED  AMERICAN  BOOK."

Title,  verso  blank  (2  pp.),  Preface  by  John  Eliot,  i  p.,  verso  blank ;  Dying  Speeches, 
pp.  2-12  ;  i  p.  blank.  The  Title  is  printed  length-wise  of  the  first  page  (from  top  to  bot 
tom).  In  his  prefatory  note,  Eliot  says :  "  These  things  are  Printed  not  so  much  for 
Publishment,  as  to  save  charge  f or  writeing  out  of  Copyes  for  those  that  did  desiere  them." 
This  is  the  ONLY  KNOWN  COPY.  It  is  in  perfect  condition,  clean  and  bright, 
elegantly  bound  (by  P.  Bedford)  in  dark'blue  levant  morocco,  full  gilt  back,  paneled  sides, 
•with  center  and  corner  ornaments,  and  rich  inside  borders. 

The  Am.  Antiquarian  Society's  Catalogue  gives  the  title  under  the  year  1663.  This  is 
considerably  too  early.  The  tract  contains  several  references  to  matters  that  occurred  after 
the  termination  of  the  Indian  War,  in  1677.  It  probably  was  printed  at  about  the  same 
time  with  the  second  edition  of  the  Indian  Bible,  between  1680  and  1683,  or  a  little  later.

A  prefatory  note  to  Mr.  Sabin's  reprint  of  this  EXTREMELY  RARE  tract  describes 
it  as  "printed  in  London,  during  the  latter  part  of  1689  or  the  beginning  of  1690."  The 
internal  evidence  that  it  was  printed  either  at  Boston  or  Cambridge,  between  February  and 
May,  1690,  seems  conclusive.  The  sack  of  Schenectady  by  the  French  and  Indians  (Feb. 
8,  1690)  is  alluded  to,  p.  n.  The  fact  that  all  the  depositions  printed  on  pages  12-14  are 
made  by  Salem  men,  and  the  suggestion,  in  the  last  paragraph,  that  it  "would  be  convenient 
for  Salem,  the  oldest  town  in  the  Colony,"  to  take  the  lead"  in  establishing  a  provisional 
government  under  the  old  Charter,  may  perhaps  furnish  a  clue  to  the  authorship.

desired  to  take  Notice  that  the  Press  in  Boston  is  so  much  under  the  aw  of  the  Reverend 
Author,  whom  we  answer,  and  his  Friends,  that  we  could  not  obtain  of  the  Printer  there 
to  print  the  following  Sheets,  which  is  the  only  true  Reason  why  we  have  sent  the  Copy

History  of  Printing  (ist  ed.),  ii.  90,  458,  and  the  Menzies  Catalogue,  no.  817.  The

"Collection  of  some  of  the  Offensive  Matter"  &c.  (No.  1086),  and  its  connection  with  the

autograph  of  Bishop  White  Kennett  is  at  the  foot  of  the  English  title-page. 

Mr.  B.  Quaritch,  from  whom  Mr.  Brinley  purchased  this  copy,  wrote,  in  1869,  "I 
believe  it  must  be  the  finest  copy  in  the  world."  Certainly,  in  completeness,  size,  and 
condition,  it  leaves  nothing  to  be  desired.  It  has  not  only  the  Dedication,  which  was 
inserted  in  very  few  (probably  not  more  than  twenty-five)  copies,  but  it  has  both  the  English 
and  the  Indian  titles.  The  leaf  measures  7  %  by  5  %  inches.  The  binding  is  one  of  Mr. 
F.  BEDFORD'S  masterpieces ;  in  best  levant  grosgrained  brown  morocco,  sides  double 
paneled,  blind  and  gold,  -with  centre  ornaments  ;  gilt  edges ;  enclosed  in  a  Solander  case

4°  Cambridge,  Samuel  Green,  1685,  1680 

A  NOBLE  COPY,  which  is  probably  rendered  UNIQUE  by  a  happy  blunder  of  the 
original  binder.  It  wants  the  "Catechism"  (a  single  leaf)  at  the  end;  but  it  has  the 
General  Title,  in  duplicate,  one  at  the  beginning  of  the  volume,  and  the  other  at  the 
end  of  the  Old  Testament.  Mr.  Henry  Stevens,  of  whom  this  copy  was  purchased  by 
Mr.  Brinley  in  1871,  explains  the  presence  of  the  second  title,  in  this  way:  "  Sheet  Ppppp, 
the  end  of  the  Old  Testament,  is  bound  up  as  originally  printed;  that  is,  Ppppp  i  is  the 
end  of  the  0.  T.,  ending  on  the  reverse ;  Ppppp  2  is  a  blank  leaf ;  Ppppp  3  is  the  title  to 
the  Old  and  New  Testament,  reverse  blank ;  and  Ppppp  4  is  blank  on  the  recto,  and  has 
the  List  of  the  Books  on  the  verso.  The  cut-out  of  the  two  middle  leaves  of  this  sheet, 
then  makes  the  blank  leaf  and  the  title  at  the  front  of  the  book.  In  this  copy,  these  two 
leaves  are  in  duplicate,  and  as  clean  and  fresh  as  they  were  in  1685.''  With  these  excep 
tions  (and  the  absence  of  the  Dedication),  the  collation  is  the  same  as  for  No.  789. 

The  leaf  measures  7§  inches  tall  by  very  nearly  6  inches  wide.  In  the  upper  corner  of 
the  (first)  title  is  the  autograph  of  "Jo.  Baily.  Jan.  i.  [i6]8f  N.  E."  (the  Rev.  John 
Baily,  minister  of  Watertown,  and  assistant  minister  of  the  First  Church,  Boston, 
1693-97).  On  the  blank  leaf  preceding  the  title,  is  the  fine  autograph  of  "Grindall 
Rawson  |  His  Indian  Bible  |  Given  him  By  his  Father  |  1712."  The  writer,  minister  of 
Mendon,  Mass.,  1680-1715,  was  much  engaged  in  the  Indian  work,  and  was  able  to  preach 
•  to  the  Indians  in  their  own  language.  He  translated  for  them  Cotton's  Milk  for  Babes 
(No.  783)  and  the  Confession  of  Faith  of  1680  (No.  784).  He  was  a  son  of  Secretary 
Edward  Rawson,  who  gave  him  this  Indian  Bible. 

The  binding,  executed  under  Mr.  Stevens's  direction,  is  in  the  best  style,  in  blue  gros- 
grain  levant  morocco,  sides  filleted  and  paneled,  blind  arid  gold,  with  centre  ornaments, 
the  back  paneled,  broad  inside  borders  of  elegant  design,  on  a  lining  of  red  levant  morocco  ; 
enclosed  in  a  dark  green  morocco  box,  lined  -with  white  velvet,  gilt  and  lettered.

This  seems  to  be  the  edition  from  which  that  of  1720  was  reprinted.  The  two  agree, 
page  for  page,  and  line  for  line  nearly,  but  there  is  a  difference  in  the  type.  As  this 
contains  Rawson's  translation  of  Cotton's  "  Milk  for  Babes,"  it  was  probably  printed  after 
or  not  long  before  1691.  It  may  be  of  the  edition  of  1687,  mentioned  in  Isaiah  Thomas's 
list  of  books  printed  by  Samuel  Green  (Hist,  of  Printing.  I.  263.)  It  is,  so  far  as  is 
known,  UNIQUE.

SUPERLATIVELY  RARE,  if  not  UNIQUE.  Cotton  Mather  (Magnalia,  bk.  in, 
pt.  iv,  c.  6)  says  —  with  his  habitual  inexactness — that  Mr.  Oxenbridge  "published  a 
Sermon  about  Seasonable  seeking  of  God."  It  is  evident  that  Eliot  (Biogr.  Dictionary), 
Allen,  Sprague  (Congr.  Annals,  i,  171),  Emerson  (in  Hist,  of  First  Church),  and  others 
have  taken  the  fact  and  the  title  from  Mather,  without  having  seen  the  Sermon  itself. 
The  title  has  not  been  found  in  any  published  catalogue  (except  the  Am.  Antiq.  Society's 
Catalogue  of  Ante-Revolutionary  Publications,  to  which  it  was  communicated  by  Mr. 
Brinley),  and  the  writer  has  not  seen  or  heard  of  any  second  copy.  Mr.  Brinley  had 
entered  it  as  anonymous,  not  having  identified  it  with  Mather's  "  Sermon  about  Seasonable 
Seeking."  —  T.

Dissenting  Messengers,  &c.  [by  President  Charles  Chauncy,]  pp.  1-38. 

This  is  the  English  reprint  of  the  "Propositions"  with  the  addition  of  Chauncy's 
Anti- Synodalia,  separately  paged,  but  without  a  special  title-page.  Thomas  (Hist,  of 
Printing,  I.  255)  puts  this  edition  of  the  Anti-Synodalia  ("  47,0.  38  pages,"  1662)  in  the 


list  of  books  printed  at  Cambridge  by  Samuel  Green,  and  says  it  "was  reprinted  in 
London."  It  is  nearly  certain  that  no  American  edition  had  been  printed  when,  in  Feb 
ruary,  1664,  the  Rev.  John  Allin  published  hi:;  "  Animadversions  upon  the  Anti-Synodalia 
Americana,  a  Treatise  printed  in  Old  England."  In  his  preface  Mr.  Allin  mentions  the 


;atise  printed  in  Old  England."  In  his  preface  Mr.  Allin  mentions  the 
Antisynodalia  which  "came  to  our  hands"  and  "another  Essay  [John  Davenport's]  of 
the  same  nature  [which]  was  here  published."  The  type  of  the  n.  p.  volume  of  1662 
differs  from  that  of  the  Cambridge  edition  of  the  "  Propositions"  (see  No.  844)  and  is 
unlike  any  that  Green  is  known  to  have  used  in  Cambridge.  The  Massachusetts  edition 
has  the  full  imprint:  "Cambridge:  Printed  by  S.  G,  for  Hezekiah  Usher  at  Boston  in 
New-England.  1662." 

This  copy  has,  at  the  foot  of  the  title-page,  the  autograph  inscription  of  "  John  Cotton

To  offer  any  remarks  on  the  RARITY  or  the  IMPORTANCE  of  this  precious  volume 
would  be  sheer  impertinence.  The  acquisition  of  a  copy  of  the  original  edition  of  the 
Bay  Psalm  Book  must  always  be  the  crowning  triumph  to  which  every  American  collector 
aspires, — while  the  chances  of  acquisition  are  constantly  diminishing.  It  is  by  no  means 
probable  that  another  copy  will  be  offered  for  competition  within  the  next  quarter  of  a 
century,  at  least.

EXTREMELY  RARE.  The  New  England  version  (Bay  Psalm  Book),  as  revised  and 
improved  by  Dunster  and  Lyon,  in  1650.  Mr.  Thomas  believed  this  to  be  the  third. 
edition 'of  the  revision,  and  the  fifth  including  all  from  1640.  "The  printing,"  he 
observes,  "is  executed  by  a  good  workman,  and  is  the  best  that  I  have  seen  from  the 
Cambridge  press.  I  conclude,  therefore,  it  could  not  be  printed  by  Green  before  the 
arrival  of  Marmaduke  Johnson  in  1660;  I  have  no  doubt  it  was  printed  tinder  Johnson's 
care;  and,  probably,  soon  after  the  Indian  Bible  came  from  the  press  in  1663."  See  his 
long  note,  in  History  of  Printing,  i.  257-8;  and  compare  a  note  in  Mr.  Haven's  (Am. 
Antiq.  Society's)  Catalogue,  under  the  year  1665,  suggesting  that  "it  is  doubtful  whether 
the  printing  was  done  in  this  country  or  in  England  .  .  Mr.  Lenox  thinks  this  may  be  the 
fifth  edition,  and  the  first  that  was  printed  in  two  columns."

Probably  UNIQUE,  and  of  EXTRAORDINARY  INTEREST,  imperfect  as  it  is.  At  the 
top  of  the  first  page  is  written,  in  the  hand  of  Thomas  Prince :  "  By  page  6,  was  written 
in  1681.  Mr.  B.  Green  sen'r  says  this  was  printed  at  Boston  by  his  bro.  Samuel's  letter 
[i.  e.  types]."  On  the  page  referred  to,  the  author  speaks  of  what  he  did,  "having  by 
accident,  some  respite  time  this  year  1681,"  in  September,  and  on  p.  7,  mentions  the  result 
"in  6  months"  —  which  brings  the  date  of  publication  as  late  as  March,  1681-2.  It 
contains  information,  not  elsewhere  to  be  found,  respecting  the  origin  and  history  of  the 
project  for  a  Land  Bank  of  Credit,  and  the  introduction  of  Paper  Money.  (See  No.  726.)

description  of  the  New  Heaven,  as  it  makes  to  those  who  stand 
upon   the  New  Earth.     By  Samuel  Sewall,   sometime   Fellow  of 
Harvard  Colledge  at  Cambridge,  French  grosgr.  blue  morocco  extra, 

full  gilt,  inside  borders  (Bedford}. 

4°  Boston,  Barth.  Green  and  John  Allen,  1697 

Title;  a  dedicatory  epistle  to  Sir  William  Ashhurst,  2  pp.;  another  dedicatory  address  to 
Governor  Stoughton,  3  pp. ;  Psalm  139, 7-10  (in  metre),  i  p. ;  Some  Few  Lines,  &c.,  pp.  60. 

The  FIRST  EDITION  of  Sewall's  very  curious  and  —  in  spite  of  its  title  —  amusing 
book,  is  EXTREMELY  RARE.  The  learned  and  pious  author  labors  "to  expose  the 
antick  fancy  of  America's  being  Hell" — the  "  Sedem  Inferorum"  to  which  Christ 
descended,  — or  even  the  Apocalyptic  Gog  and  Magog;  but  he  honestly  confesses  (p.  40) 
that  "  there  is  so  much  Confusion  in  the  discourses  upon  this  subject,  that  a  man  cannot 
tell  when  he  is  in  Heaven  and  when  he  is  in  Hell?  and  that  "  so  near  an  approach  to,  so 
complcat  a  resemblance  of  Hell,  was  not  to  be  found  in  rerum  nattira  "  as  in  America.

Sewall  has  appended  to  his  own  work,  Willard's  Sermon  on  "the  National  Conversion 
of  the  Jews,"  first  published  in  1700,  but  already  "for  some  time  out  of  print."  In 
the  accompanying  tract,  the  Rev.  Solomon  Stoddard  closes  his  examination  of  "Cases 
of  Conscience,"  touching  the  "wearing  of  long  Hairf  "thoughts  concerning  Periwigs," 
&c.,  with  the  suggestion  that  "  There  be  many  other  Practices  that  are  plainly  contrary  to 
the  Light  of  Nature.  HOOPED  Petticoats  have  something  of  Nakedness  ;  Mixt  Dances 
are  Incentives  to  Lust ;  Compotations  in  Private  Houses,  is  a  Drunken  Practice."

the  first,  second,  or  third  edition  appears  in  any  American  catalogue.  Mr.  J.  W.  Dean,  in 
his  memoir  of  Wigglesworth  (N.  E.  Hist.  &>  Geneal.  Reg.,  xvii.  145)  says  that  "the 
earliest  edition  of  which  we  have  been  able  to  obtain  any  information  is  the  4th  ; "  and  of 
this,  only  one  copy,  besides  Mr.  Brinley's,  is  known  to  the  writer.  "  The  Day  of  Doom" 
was  first  printed  in  1662.  "  It  is  not  known  that  a  copy  of  either  of  the  first  three  editions 
is  extant "  (Sibley,  Harv.  Graduates,  284).  Neither  Mr.  J.  W.  Dean  nor  Mr.  Haven 
(Cat.  of  Ante-Revol.  Publications}  could  find  a  copy  of  any  American  edition  earlier  than 
the  sixth,  of  1715.  "This  work,"  says  Mr.  Sibley,  "represented  the  theology  of  the  day, 
and  for  a  century,  with  the  exception  perhaps  of  the  Bible,  was  more  popular  throughout 
New  England  than  any  other  that  can  be  named."

VERY  LARGE  and  FINE  copy  of  the  only  published  -work  of  the  First  Pastor  of 
Boston.  It  is  EXCESSIVELY  RARE.  This  sermon  "was  preached  on  occasion  of 
the  Anabaptists  first  setting  up  in  opposition  to  the  Churches  of  Christ," — says  Increase 
Mather  (On  Infant  Baptism,  1680,  p.  277).  A  Baptist  church  had  been  organized,  in 
Charlestown,  May  28,  1665.  Five  of  their  members  had  been  disfranchised  by  the 
General  Court  (Oct.  nth),  a  few  weeks  before  this  Lecture  was  preached.  Mr.  Wilson, 
says  Cotton  Mather,  "had  the  Zeal  of  a  Pharisee,  I  had  almost  said  of  a  Seraphim,  in 
testifying  against  every  thing  that  he  thought  offensive  to  God,"  —  and,  "in  his  sight," 
adds  Mr.  Frothingham,  "among  things  most  offensive  was  Anabaptists  and  Quakers." 
(Hist,  of  Charlestown,  p.  69. ) 


THE  WORKS  OF  THE   MATHERS. 

For  the  purposes  of  this  Catalogue,  it  has  been  found  convenient  to  arrange  the  works  of 
the  several  members  of  the  Mather  family  —  extending  nearly  to  four  hundred  and  fifty  titles 
(exclusive  of  duplicates)  —  in  the  following  order: — 

(i)  RICHARD,  of  Dorchester.  (2)  INCREASE,  of  Boston,  son  of  Richard.  (3)  COTTON, 
of  Boston,  son  of  Increase. 

The  others  follow  in  the  alphabetical  order  of  their  Christian  names:  (4)  AZARIAH,  of 
Saybrook/son  of  Samuel  (of  Windsor).  (5)  ELEAZER,  of  Northampton,  son  of  Richard. 
(6)  MOSES,  of  Middlesex,  Conn.,  gr.  gr.  grandson  of  Richard.  (7)  NATHANAEL,  of  Dublin 
and  London,  son  of  Richard.  (8)  NATHANAEL,  of  Boston,  son  of  Increase.  (9)  SAMUEL, 
of  Dublin,  son  of  Richard.  (10)  SAMUEL,  of  Windsor,  Conn.,  son  of  Timothy  and  grandson 
of  Richard,  (n)  SAMUEL,  of  Witney  (Engl.),  son  of  Increase.  (12)  SAMUEL,  of  Boston, 
son  of  Cotton. 

The  works  of  INCREASE  and  COTTON  Mather  (Nos.  939-1282)  are  arranged  in  the  alpha 
betical  order  of  their  titles  :  all  the  others,  in  the  order  of  time  of  publication. 

An  obelisk  (|)  prefixed  to  a  title  indicates  that  the  work  was  published  anonymoiisly. 

In  giving  the  sizes,  the  signatures  have  been  the  guide.  Signatures  in  eights  (or  half-sheets, 
in  fours)  are  marked  8°  ;  in  sixes  or  twelves,  12°. 

Where  no  place  of  piiblication  is  named,  it  will  be  understood  that  the  book  was  printed  in 
Boston,  uhless  specially  marked  as  of  no  place  (n.  p.)

extra,  g.  e.  (Pratt}.  4°  Cambridge,  Samuel  Green,  1657 

SUPERLATIVELY  RARE.  This  copy  has  suffered  somewhat,  at  the  hands  of  a 
former  binder.  The  outer  margin  of  pp.  3,  4,  and  the  bottom  margins  throughout  have 
been  cropped  too  close,  taking  off  one  line  from  pp.  17-21,  and  three  or  four  words  from 
p.  26.  The  margins  have  been  skilfitlly  restored,  and  the  few  lost  words  can  easily  be 
supplied  in  facsimile. 

936  —  t  A  Defence  of  the  Answer  and  Arguments  of  the  Synod  met 
at  Boston  in  the  year  1662,  against  the  Reply  made  thereto  by  the 
Reverend  John  Davenport.  .  .  Together  with  AN  ANSWER  [by  the 
Rev.  Jonathan  Mitchell]  to  the  Apologetical  Preface  set  before  that 
Essay.     By  some  of  the  Elders  who  were  members  of  that  Synod, 
pp.  (2),  46,  102.    Elegantly  bound  in  dk.  blue gros grain  levant  morocco, 
gilt  back  and  paneled  sides  (Bedford}.  4°  Cambridge, 

On  the  margin  of  the  title-page,  is  written,  in  the  Autograph  of  Richard  Mather :  "  For 
the  Rever*  M«-  Shepard;"  also,  "Thomas  Shepard's  Booke,  ye  gift  of  ye  Rev<i.  Author 
[Mr.  Richard]  Mather,  Teacher  of  the  Church  in  Dorchester,"  and  "  Ben.  Wadsworth's, 
1717."  There  are  several  marginal  notes  (in  the  "Answer")  by  Mr.  Shepard — who  has 
also  written,  at  the  beginning  of  each  part  of  the  work,  the  name  of  the  author.  RARE. 

937  — Two  MANUSCRIPT  Sermons:  (i)  "2  Cor:  5:  i.     At  Good- 
wife  Wilkens  funerall,  Decr.  6th,  164(8?]"  ^  pp. —  (2)  "Psal.  90:  12. 
At  Mr.  Toogoods  funerall,  Decr.  12:  1653."  ^pp>  (wants  one  page.} 

Eleven  neatly  written  pages.  Good  autographs  of  Richard  Mather  are  EXTREMELY 
RARE.  Additional  interest  is  given  to  these  choice  specimens  by  their  mention  of  two 
names  not  found  in  the  records  of  Dorchester  or  in  Savage's  Genealogical  Dictionary. 
"  Goodwife  Wilkens  "  may  have  been  the  wife  or  the  mother  of  Bray  Wilkins,  of  Dor 
chester  and  Lynn  :  but  who  was  the  "  Mr.  Toogood  "  who  died  in  1653  ? 

Q38  _  MANUSCRIPT    SERMON,  from  Heb.  13.  17,  preached  "At 
an  Ordina/zb;z  at  Marleborough.  Apr:  7:  1659."     \t> pages,  8° 

A  most  desirable  AUTOGRAPH,  but  of  higher  interest  as  an  unpublished  discourse  of 
Richard  Mather,  on  the  duty  of  obedience  and  submission  of  church-members,  to  their  min 
isters  and  officers.  ("  Obey  them  that  have  the  rule  over  you,  and  submit  yourselves,"  etc.) 

"  He  wrote  a  treatise  to  prove  that  whatever  priviledge  and  liberty  may  belong  to  the 
fraternity,  the  rule  of  the  church  belongs  only  to  its  Presbytery." — Magnalia. 

The  occasion  and  the  date  of  this  Sermon  deserve  notice.  The  town  of  Marlborough 
was  not  incorporated  until  May,  1660,  and  the  Rev.  William  Brinsmead  (a  native  of  Dor 
chester,  and  doubtless  a  member  of  Mather's  church)  is  said  to  have  been  the  first  minister, 
but  he  was  not  installed  until  October  3,  1666.  That  he  (or  any  other)  minister  was 
ordained  at  Marlborough  as  early  as  April,  1659,  seems  to  have  been  unknown  even  to  Mr. 
Hudson,  the  local  historian.

The  Preface  to  this  volume  is  also  by  I.  Mather.  The  first  sermon  is  by  Cotton  Mather : 
"What  the  Pious  Parent  wishes  for."  The  sermons  are  separately  paged.  An  alphabet 
ical  arrangement  reverses,  in  this  instance,  the  order  of  time,  giving  the  first  place,  in  the 
catalogue  of  Increase  Mather's  works,  to  one  of  his  latest  (No.  149  of  Mr.  Sibley's  list). 
The  "  Advice  "  was  given  in  his  83d  year,  "  without  using  any  notes  ;"  "  nor  could  we  have 
come  at  this  particular  Sermon,  if  we  had  not  been  beholden  to  the  Pen  of  a  pious  Gentle

VERY  RARE.  8°  Samuel  Green,  1684 

The  motto  of  the  title-page  (taken  from  William  of  Paris)  is :  "  Chorea  est  Circulus 
cujus  Centrum  est  Diabolus," — 'the  Dance  is  a  circle  whose  Centre  is  the  Devil'!  — 
"  Such  Church-Members  in  N.  E.  as  have  sent  their  Children  to  be  Practitioners  or  Spec 
tators  of  mixt  Dancing  between  Young  Men  and  Maidens,"  says  the  Reverend  author 
(p.  29),  "have  cause  to  be  deeply  humbled.  But  stand  still  a  while!  what  a  word  is 
here!  Church-members  and  their  Children  in  N.  E.  at  mixt  Dances!  Be  astonished, 
O  ye  Heavens  !  without  doubt,  Abraham  is  ignorant  of  us,  and  Israel  knoweth  us  not ! ' 

In  November,  1684,  the  Ministers  of  Boston  "come  to  the  Court  and  complain  against 
a  Dancing  Master  [Mr.  Francis  Stepney]  who  seeks  to  set  up  here,  and  hath  mixt  Dances, 
and  his  time  of  meeting  is  Lecture-Day,  and  'tis  reported  he  should  say  that  by  one  Play 
he  could  teach  more  Divinity  than  Mr.  Willard  or  the  Old  Testament.  Mr.  Moody  said 
'twas  not  a  time  for  N.  E.  to  dance.  Mr.  Mather  struck  at  the  Root,  speaking  against 
mixt  Dances."  (SeivaWs  Diary.}  Mr.  Stepney  was  ordered  not  to  keep  a  dancing  school. 
Disregarding  the  prohibition,  in  February,  1685-6,  he  was  prosecuted  and  fined  £100,  for 
"speaking  blasphemous  words,"  but  the  payment  of  all  but  £10,  was  remitted  on  condition 
that  he  should  leave  Boston  before  the  last  of  March.  Just  then,  a  second  impression  of 
"  The  Arrow  against  Dancing  "  was  published.

tations,  8  lines.)  4°  Boston.  Printed  and  Sold  by  John  Foster 

over  against  the  Sign  of  the  Dove.  1676 

Title  (i  leaf),  To  the  Reader  (4  pp.),  A  Brief  History  &c.  //.  1-51,  (i  blk.  p.),  Post 
script,  and  Errata,  pp.  8. — Title,  "  An  Earnest  Exhortation,"  &c.,  pp.  (4),  26.  A  good, 
sound  copy  of  this  EXCEEDINGLY  RARE  book.  No  epithet  can  be  too  strong  to 
characterize  the  scarcity  of  the  one  introiivable  which  so  long  escaped  the  search  of  Amer 
ican  collectors ;  so  rare,  that  Prince  did  not  secure  it  for  his  New  England  Library,  though 
he  could  pick  up  half  a  dozen  Bay  Psalm  Books ;  so  rare  that  S.  G.  Drake,  the  most  inde 
fatigable  and  successful  of  collectors,  could  not  find  it  for  his  reprint,  in  1862,  and  was 
obliged  to  copy  even  his  title  page  from  the  London  edition;  and  so  rare  that  Mr.  Sabin 
himself,  when  noting  the  fact  (in  the  Menzies  Catalogue)  that  "  the  New  England  edition 
is  not  mentioned  by  Lowndes,  nor  elsewhere,  so  far  as  we  have  been  able  to  ascertain," 
makes  the  reluctant  admission  that  "  perhaps,  no  copy  of  it  exists." 

Mr.  Brinley's  copy  is  in  fine  condition,  clean  throughout,  except  inconsiderable  water- 
stains,  easily  removable.  It  is  in  the  original  marble-paper  wrapper.  In  trimming,  one  line 
of  the  Errata,  on  the  last  page  of  the  Postscript  and  the  Exhortation,  was  cut  into,  and  a 
few  of  the  signatures  and  catch-words  were  touched:  but  the  injury  is  so  slight  that  in  a 
volume  of  less  rarity  and  bibliographical  importance,  it  would  not  be  worth  mention.

being  to  preach  the  Election  Sermon,  wrote  to  Mr.  Mitchel  to  give  his  Thoughts  upon  the 
subject."  "  N.  B.  Having  compar'd  the  follow'g  Extract,  with  the  Original  MS.  of 
Mr.  Mitchel,  I  find  these  variations."  The  variations  are  noted,  and  the  large  omissions 
supplied,  in  Prince's  very  neat  chirography,  on  the  margins,  blank  pages,  and  on  two  leaves 
inserted.  There  is  scarcely  a  sentence  without  a  correction,  and  the  additional  matter  is 
nearly  equal,  in  amount,  to  the  printed  extract.  The  tract  is  in  beautiful  condition.

Attributed  to  Mather,  in  the  Am.  Antiq.  Society  (Haven's)  catalogue,  and  by  Mr. 
Sibley  (No.  157),  on  the  authority  of  a  copy  on  which  I.  M.  is  extended  to  "I.  Mather, 
D.D."  in  a  nearly  contemporary  hand-writing.  Mr.  Brinley's  copy  is  so  inscribed,  and  is 
probably  the  one  to  which  Mr.  Sibley  refers.  The  main  argument  of  the  tract  is,  that 
"  Monopolizing  dormant  lands  subjects  the  Colony  to  Slavery,"  and  that  all  "  dormant 
(unimproved)  Lands  ought  to  be  Taxed  for  the  support  of  government,"  and  it  appeals  to 
the  General  Assembly  to  "  undo  heavy  Burdens,  break  every  Yoke,  make  us  a  free  People, 
to  Enjoy  -without  Price  or  Purchase  -what  God  hath  freely  given  us,"  &c.  It  is  EX 
TREMELY  RARE.  If  by  Mather  (which  seems  very  doubtful)  it  is  the  last  work 
(independently)  published  by  him.

growing  in  Boston  a  Cabbage-Root,  out  of  which  there  sprouted  three  very  wonderful 
Branches,  one  of  them  exactly  resembling  a  Curtlace  [Cutlass],  another  of  them  as  exactly

"  No  book  published  after  the  Restoration  of  Charles  the  Second  was  more  influential 
in  reviving  the  waning  belief  in  witchcraft  —  none  supplied  the  magistrates  at  Salem  with 
so  many  authoritative  precedents  —  on  none  did  the  Mathers  draw  more  largely  for  '  won 
ders  of  the  invisible  world,'  than  the  '  Sadducismus  Triumphatus '  of  the  Rev.  Joseph 
Glanvil  —  a  Fellow  of  the  Royal  Society,  one  of  the  Chaplains  of  Charles  II.,  rector  of  the 
Abbey  Church  at  Bath,  and  subsequently  a  prebendary  of  Worcester."

The  preface,  dated  Feb.  26,  1713-14,  announces  that,  "a  scheme  of  a  Bank  of  Credit, 
founded  upon  a  Land  Security,  has  been  projected;  and  will  be  humbly  offered  to  the  Con 
sideration  of  the  General  Assembly,  at  their  next  Session."  The  tract  "sets  forth  in  a 
plain  and  familiar  way,  not  only  the  Nature,  but  the  Feazibleness  and  Utility  of  such  a 
Fund  of  Credit."  This  seems  to  have  been  the  first  gun  fired  in  the  Land  Bank  war  of

[it]  and  set  up  this  Publick  Bank  in  its  place"  &c.  (p.  7).  He  sees  no  remedy  for  hard 
times  but  inflation  ;  thinks  the  Government  should  "  go  on  some  great  and  expensive  work, 
and  Emit  Bills  to  carry  it  on  ;  "  "  if  there  was  a  Bridge  built  over  Charles  River,  if  Fifty

rise  never  so  high,  yet  the  Medium  shall  keep  its  prime  Value,  even  when  every  thing  else 
alters,  which  is  an  utter  impossibility.  All  the  power  and  wisdom  of  this  World  cannot

Dated,  at  end,  Dec.  igth,  1720.  Written  by  an  advocate  of  a  larger  emission  of  bills  of 
credit,  and  against  the  majority  in  the  Council  and  the  supporters  of  Gov.  Shute  in  his 
contest  with  the  popular  party.  It  abounds  in  allusions,  serious  and  satirical,  to  prominent 
men  and  measures  of  the  time.  A  hit  at  "  the  great  DON  DAGO,  the  Primate--wou'ld-be  of 

our  Island  (like  the  famous  Dr.  S 1  [Sacheverel] ) "  and  his  "  old  Itch  of  Scribbling," 

seems  intended  for  Cotton  Mather,  and  so,  perhaps,  is  one  at  a  "Clergy-man  who  (Com- 
median-like}  will  stand  belabouring  his  Cushion  and  intermixing  his  Harrangue  with 
THUNDER-BOLTS,  while  he  is  entertaining  his  peaceable  Congregation  with  things  whereof 
he  is  almost  as  Ignorant  as  I  am  of  the  Saddle  Balaam  rode  on  when  his  Ass  spoke,"  etc. 
When  Gov.  Shute,  in  his  speech  at  the  opening  of  the  session,  March  15,  1721,  recom 
mended  measures  to  punish  the  authors  of  factious  and  seditious  papers,  the  House 
answered  that  few  or  none  would  dare  to  publish  such  papers  "  if  proper  measures  had 
been  taken  to  discover  and  punish  the  authors  of  a  libel,  called,  News  from  Robinson 
Cruso's  Island,  wherein  the  members  of  the  House  are  grossly  reflected  upon"  (HUTCH- 
INSON,  ii.  223).  To  that  libel,  the  "New  News"  &c.,  was  perhaps  a  rejoinder.  Haven's

query)  to  Elisha  Cooke,  the  leader  of  the  popular  party  in  the  House.

This  pamphlet,  now  EXTREMELY  RARE,  was  printed  for  Benj.  Gray,  Feb.  1720-21. 
At  a  meeting  of  the  Council,  Feb.  28,  it  was  read  and  considered,  and  was  declared  to  con 
tain  "  many  vile,  scandalous,  and  very  abusive  expressions,  which  greatly  reflect  on  His 
Majesty's  Government  and  People  of  this  Province,  and  tend  to  disturb  the  public  peace." 
B.  Gray,  the  publisher,  was  summoned,  and  "acknowledged  that  he  had  caused  the  same 
to  be  printed,  and  that  the  original  in  manuscript  was  delivered  to  him  by  an  unknown 
hand,"  Feb.  8th.  The  Council  directed  the  Attorney-General  (Paul  Dudley)  "  to  prosecute 
the  said  Gray,  or  any  other  person  that  may  have  been  concerned  in  the  making  or  pub 
lishing  the  said  Pamphlet."  —  THOMAS,  Hist,  of  Printing,  ii.  425.  "I  believe,"  says 
Thomas,  "  the  affair  was  terminated  by  a  compromise." 

An  "  Advertisement,"  p.  12,  notices  the  article  in  the  "  last  Week's  Gazette"  "  by  a  cer

The  Letter  is  dated,  Feb.  27,  1721.  It  was  occasioned  by  an  article  in  the  Boston  Ga 
zette  of  Feb.  20,  dated  "N.  E.  Castle  William,  February,  1720,  21,"  imputing  interested 
motives  to  a  writer  ("Americus  Patrice,")  who  had  advocated  a  larger  emission  of  bills  of 
credit.  The  Gazette  writer  had  designated  "Americus  Patriae  "  as  "  Worldly  Wise  Man." 
This  allusion,  and  the  account  given  in  the  "Letter,"  pp.  i,  2,  of  that  "Reverend  and 
Worthy  Gentleman's  "  treatment  by  Andros,  point  unmistakably  to  the  Rev.  John  Wise 
of  Ipswich  (Chebacco).  See  Nos.  1442  and  1445.

"  Humbly  Dedicated  to  the  Merchants  in  Boston."  A  well-managed  and  witty  plea  for 
paper  money  and  "inflation."  It  is,  for  general  readers,  the  most  interesting  of  all  the 
tracts  published  in  the  Bank  of  Credit  controversy,  while  its  frequent  references  to  trade, 
manufactures,  industries,  and  home-life  in  Boston  and  in  the  country  towns,  give  it,  to  the 
historian  and  antiquary,  an  exceptional  value. 

For  the  evidence  on  which  I  have  attributed  this  work  to  Mr.  Wise,  the  witty  author  of 
"  The  Churches  Quarrel  Espoused,"  and  "A  Vindication  of  the  Government  of  N.  E.

to  the  great  Surprize  and  Terror  of  His  Majesty's  Good  Subjects  : 
Humbly  Dedicated  to  all  the  Virtuosi  of  New-England.  By  Thomas 
Thumb,  Esq., /A  24,  blue  calf ,  extra  gilt,  UNCUT. 

8°  n.  p.  \_Boston, ~\  Printed  in  July,  1754 

A  beautiful  copy  of  this  VERY  RARE  tract,  which  gave  such  offence  to  the  legislature 
of  Massachusetts  that  it  was  ordered  to  be  burnt  by  the  common  hangman,  and  Daniel 
Fowle,  suspected  of  having  printed  it,  was  arrested  and  imprisoned.  See  Thomas's 
History  of  Printing,  i.  333-339.  It  gives  a  satirical  account  of  the  debate  on  the  Excise 
Bill,  in  the  Council,  after  'its  passage  by  the  House.  The  reputed  author  was  Samuel 
Waterhouse.  Mr.  Sabin  (Dictionary,  No.  12982)  says :  "  Of  this  work  .  .  .  not  more  than 
three  or  fortr  copies  are  known,"  to  have  escaped  the  fire  to  which  it  was  condemned  by  the 
General  Court.

EXTREMELY  RARE,  in  such  condition.  As  long  ago  as  1814,  Mr.  Alden  (Coll.  of 
Epitaphs,  iii.  in)  wrote  :  "  It  is  presumed  that  not  more  than  three  copies  of  this  interest 
ing  work  remain  in  existence." 

Philip  Ashton  was  a  native  of  Marblehead.  In  1722,  he  and  his  kinsman,  Nich.  Mer 
ritt,  were  taken  prisoners  by  the  pirate  Low,  at  Port  Rossaway,  Cape  Sable,  and  carried 
to  the  West  Indies.  He  made  his  escape  to  an  uninhabited  island,  near  the  Main,  from 
which  he  at  last  obtained  a  passage  to  New  England,  and  landed  at  Salem,  May  i,  1725. 
Mr.  Barnard  preached  a  Sermon,  on  his  return,  and  published  this  narrative  of  his  adven 
tures.  "  The  book  is  full  of  incident,  and  little  known  to  the  book  collectors  of  New 
England,"  —  says  Mr.  Stevens,  in  a  note  on  the  English  reprint,  in  his  Nuggets,  p.  40.

The  Register  for  1785, by  Nathan  Daboll,  published  by  T.  Green,  is  the  first  of  "  Green's 
Registers;"  but  in  1830,  Col.  Samuel  Green,  the  publisher,  began  to  number  the  series, 
from  1791,  the  year  in  which  his  name  first  appeared  (with  his  father's)  in  the  imprint. 
The  Register  for  1830  is  "  No.  40,"  and  that  for  1848  (the  last  published  for  Samuel 
Green)  is  No.  58. 

The  earlier  numbers  of  the  Register  are  VERY  SCARCE,  and  few  Connecticut  collectors 
have  succeeded  in  making  a  set  complete.

binding,  except  the  Sermon  for  1727,  which  wants  the  last  leaf.     114 
Sermons.  16°,  4°,  and  8° 

The  Election  Sermons  of  1729,  1735,  1739,  and  1743,  were  not  printed.  Five  sermons 
were  printed  in  Cambridge  and  Boston,  before  a  press  was  established  in  Connecticut.  Of 
these  five,  four  will  be  found  elsewhere  in  this  Catalogue:  namely,  J.  Fitch's,  1674  (the 
FIRST  PRINTED),  No.  767;  S.  Wakeman's  1685,  No.  880;  J.  Whiting's,  1686,  No.  888; 
and  G.  Saltonstall's,  1697,  No.  854.  Only  three  (1710-12)  were  printed  in  Connecticut 
before  that  of  J.  Bulkeley,  1713,  with  which  this  series  begins. 

Mr.  Brinley  began  this  collection  of  these  Sermons  nearly  forty  years  ago,  and  allowed 
no  opportunity  of  completing  and  perfecting  it  to  escape.  His  success  is  almost  unexam 
pled.  Many  of  the  earlier  sermons  are  EXTREMELY  RARE,  and  nearly  all,  before  179°, 
are  scarce.  It  is  unnecessary  to  remark  on  the  importance  of  a  series  of  the  Election  Ser 
mons,  to  any  historical  library.  There  is  scarcely  any  source  from  which  so  much  light  is 
thrown  on  colonial  institutions,  civil  and  political,  as  well  as  religious. 

From  1713  to  1764,  inclusive,  the  Election  Sermons  were  printed  at  New  London: 
1765-1770,  alternately  at  Hartford  and  New  London;  1771-74,  N.  London  ;  1775-1818, 
Hartford,  except  1778,  N.  Haven  ;  1818-1830,  alternately,  Hartford  and  New  Haven. 
The  size  was,  from  1710  to  1764,  16°  (hf.  sheet  8°) ;  from  1765  to  1784,  various,  4°  and 
8°;  after  1784,  uniformly  8°.

Albany,  1855 

An  UNCUT  copy  of  Stiles's  Judges  is,  as  every  collector  knows,  of  EXTRAORDINARY 
RARITY.  It  is  believed  that  no  copy  containing  the  plates  remained  uncut.  Mr.  Brinley 
intended  to  supply  the  plates  and  also  the  slip  of  Errata  (pasted  on  p.  357)  from  another 
copy,  and  to  add  a  few  illustrations,  and  a  copy  of  Dr.  Hough's  publication  of  John 
London's  Affidavit,  &c.,  by  way  of  supplement ;  and  it  has  seemed  best  to  offer  the  two 
copies,  with  the  Illustrations,  &c.,  in  one  lot.

volume  of  verse,  printed  in  Connecticut  —  see  Duyckinck's  Cyrfop.  of  Am.  Lit.,  i.  79. 
The  greater  part  of  the  volume  (pp.  19-78)  is  occupied  with  "A  Brief  Account  of  the 
Agency  of  the  Honourable  John  Winthrop,  Esq ;  in  the  Court  of  King  Charles  the  Second, 
Anno  Dom.  1662,  When  he  obtained  for  the  Colony  of  Connecticut  His  Majesty's  Gracious

war,  etc.

ACCOUNT  BOOK  OF  MAJOR  JOHN  TALCOTT. 

2135  TALCOTT  (JOHN)   MANUSCRIPT  ACCOUNT  BOOK,  1674-88 ;  includ 
ing  his  accounts  with  the  Colony,  of  his  receipts  and  disbursements, 
as  Treasurer,  during  the  INDIAN  WAR,  1675-6.     Continued  by  his 
son,  Samuel  Talcott,  to  1728.     Elegantly  bound,  in  full  dark  brown 
levant  morocco  extra  (by  Bedford}.  cap  folio. 

Major  Talcott  was  Colony  Treasurer  from  1659,  until  his  death,  in  1688  ;  an  Assistant, 
from  1662 ;  and  Commander-in-chief  of  the  Connecticut  forces  in  the  Indian  War,  in  1676. 
This  volume  contains  his  public  as  well  as  his  personal  accounts,  for  about  1 5  years.  Every 
page  has  matter  of  interest  to  students  of  Connecticut  history,  and  there  are  many  entries 
sufficiently  curious  to  attract  even  the  most  cursory  reader.  Here  is  one  account,  as  it 
stands  on  opposite  pages  of  the  ledger  (pp.  54,  55) : 

"  1676.  Capt.  John  Stanton  of  Stonington,  DR.  To  sundry  Commissions  gave  Capt. 
Stanton  to  proceed  ag<  ye  Indians :  by  which  he  gained  much  on  sales  of  captives." 

"  CONTRA.  1^77,  April  30.  Per  received  an  Indian  Girll  of  him,  about  7  :  years  old, 
which  he  gave  me  for  Commissions  on  the  other  side,  or  at  best,  out  of  good  -will  for  my 
kindness  to  Aim." 


MANUSCRIPTS.  259 

That  Major  Talcott  was  careful  to  save  all  the  property  of  the  Colony  for  which,  as 
magistrate  or  treasurer,  he  was  in  any  measure  responsible,  the  following  entry  bears 
testimony : 

"  1679.  Jan-  l-  COUNTRY,  DR.  To  so  much  paid  Wm,  Edwards,  for  taking  Henry 
Green  out  of  the  Dungeon,  being  dead, — cutting  off  his  legs  to  save  his  Irons,  &  seeing 
to  his  buriall,  for  which  I  promised  &  p'd  him  £00.10.00."

This  volume — rescued  a  few  years  since  from  a  paper-mill  —  is  of  much  interest  to 
Connecticut  historians  and  antiquaries.  It  fills  a  gap — which,  certainly,  ought  never  to 
have  been  made — in  the  original  records  of  both  the  Hartford  County  Court  and  the 
Colonial  Courts  of  Equity.  Col.  Hezekiah  Wyllys,  of  Hartford,  was  Secretary  of  the 
Colony,  from  1712  to  1735,  an^  a  Ju^ge  of.  the  County  Court.

1 6°  New  York,  Printed  by  Henry  De  Foreest  in  King-Street,  1752 

EXCESSIVELY   RARE,  if  not  UNIQUE.     Its  title  is  not  in  Haven's  (Am.  Antiq. 

Soc.)  Catalogue,  in  Sabin's  Dictionary,  or  in  any  other  Catalogue  that  has  been  consulted. 

It  was  perhaps  privately  printed.    This,  the  only  known  copy,  has  several  corrections  of  the 

text,  which  seem  have  been  made  by  the  author. 

When  this  tract  was  written,  Roger  Sherman  was  in  business  as  a  country-merchant,  in 
New  Milford,  but  was  prosecuting  the  study  of  law.  He  was  not  admitted  to  the  bar 
until  December,  1754.  This  is  not  only  the  earliest  but  (with  the  exception  of  his  Alma 
nacs}  the  only  work  published  by  the  man  whom  Jefferson  pointed  out  as  one  "who  never 
said  a  foolish  thing  in  his  life."  Not  long  after  this  publication,  in  his  Almanac  for  1753, 
he  "  fills  up  a  vacant  page  "  (2  pages),  with  "  Thoughts  upon  the  loss  and  damages  which  the 
Inhabitants  of  the  Colony  of  Connecticut  have  sustained  by  the  depreciations  of  the  Bills 
of  Credit  of  Rhode  Island  and  New  Hampshire,  since  the  year  1750."

23,  uncut.  12°  n.p.,  n.  d.  [ab.  1800] 

"Connecticut  is  almost  totally  an  ecclesiastical  state,  ruled  by  the  President  of  the  Col 
lege  [Dr.  D  wight],  as  by  a  Monarch"  (p.  14).  "Time  only  can  determine  who  have  done 
most  injury  to  Christianity,  Paine,  or  the  Calvinistic  clubs."  The  name  of  the  author  of 
this  tract  (which  is  now  SCARCE)  seems  to  have  remained  unknown.  Mr.  Brinley's  copy 
has,  on  the  first  leaf,  the  name  of  "  J.  Andrews,  from  L.  Andrews,"  and  below  the  half- 
title,  in  the  same  hand-writing,  "J.  C.  Ogden,"  i.  e.  the  Rev.  John  C.  Ogden,  of  New 
Haven,  1770-85,  afterwards  rector  of  the  Episc.  Church  in  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  and 
again,  for  a  time,  in  Connecticut,  after  1793.  I  infer  that  the  tract  was  printed  by  Loring 
Andrews  in  Stockbridge,  about  1800.

A  very  curious  and  an  EXTREMELY  RARE  book,  which,  though  it  chiefly  relates  to  per 
sonal  grievances  of  the  author  and  his  friends,  contains  some  matter  of  larger  interest. 
The  parties  all  belonged  to  the  second  (Six  Principle)  Baptist  Church  in  Newport,  of 
which  Tames  Clarke  and  Daniel  Wightman  were  pastors.  —  The  type  is  certainly  James 
Franklin's.  It  is  the  same  that  was  used  for  his  edition  of  Hodder's  Arithmetic  (Boston, 
1719)  and  one  of  the  initial  ornaments,  p.  3,  was  used  in  his  reprint  of  "The  Isle  of 
Man,"  1719.

ISLAND, — four  years  before  the  date  which  Thomas  (i.  419)  gives  as  that  of  the  establish 
ment  of  the  First  Press  in  Newport.  A  most  desirable  acquisition  to  every  Rhode  Island 
collector,  it  will  be  scarcely  less  attractive  to  collectors  of  FRANKLINIANA,  in  other  states, 
since  James's  "  Poor  Robin  "  manifestly  gave  the  hint  for  Benjamin's  "  Poor  Richard," 
first  printed  in  1 732.  The  calendar  pages  contain  many  pithy  remarks  and  quaint  proverbs, 
much  in  the  vein  of  "  Richard  Saunders,  Philom."  Mr.  Brinley's  copy  is  well-preserved,
